And they did implement some very strict covid measures.

However I don't recognise some of the statements above at all
"most chinese people are living in 15 minute cities" that seems like total bollocks to me, having recently been there for work.

Unless by 15 minute cities you mean that most people live within 15 minutes of all the amenities that they are likely to need - which is true of almost anyone living in big cities.
This documentary on China's use of AI in surveillance is interesting but depressing.
